The Miniaturist

In the BBC adaptation of The Miniaturist, Anya Taylor-Joy’s character gets pretty dresses and the taste of butter and still isn’t happy. I think there’s a lesson there. Never trust a talking goat.

Being only one episode of two, I’m wondering how it will balance the realistic concerns of secrets kept too long, old loves turned to resentment and repressed desires with the seemingly supernatural insights of the fleetingly-glimpsed title character. Is she simply an observant spy... who sometimes sneaks into the house to update her work?
